To the editor:
If you want to see a more conservative North Carolina that upholds the rule of law and doesn’t legislate from the bench or engage in judicial activism, vote to re-elect Judge Paul Newby for the North Carolina Supreme Court.
I have personally met Justice Newby, and I was impressed with his candor. I found him to be pragmatic and open and with a sound grasp of the severity of the issues facing our state and nation.

To the editor:
President Barack Obama raided Medicare of $700 million to finance Obamacare. He invested in Solyndra (with our money) even though his advisers told him not to. They went bankrupt and lost our money.
He insulted our greatest ally (Israel) in the Mideast. He whispered to Putin (when he thought the microphone was off) to bear with him until after the election. He would then be free to do what he wanted.

To the editor:
Last week while we were watching the Sept 11, 2012, attacks and demonstrations throughout the world and listening to the White House blame someone else for diplomatic and security failures, America’s credit rating was cut yet again.
America’s credit rating has been cut only twice and both times under the leadership of President Obama.

To the editor:
By the authority of God’s word, Jesus will return. “And the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever,” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

To the editor:
There has been controversy regarding the U.S. 17 billboard that included Osama bin Laden and President Obama as threats to America.
The question is: “Is this an appropriate way to present a point of view and what did the billboard really say?”

To the editor:
I am proud to see all the new billboards urging Americans to wake up to the growing threat to our liberties. These billboards demonstrate the growing awareness and disapproval of ordinary people to the policies, actions and direction our current president and his administration are pursuing.
People are fed up with all the promises, divisive rhetoric, political correctness, bureaucracy, false claims and no results. For example: “Pass my stimulus bill and unemployment will drop to 5 percent.”

To the editor:
The Navy Seal sign on U.S. 17 should read: “The Navy Seals removed the No. 2 threat to America.”
Now we need to remove the No. 1 threat to America. Wake up, America, get your head out of the sand and look at the facts. Vote for the American in November.

To the editor:
What more proof do you need that the Democrats and their leader President Obama want to “fundamentally transform” America?
At their convention in Charlotte last week, they removed the last reference of God from the party platform and removed Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
They received such public flack they forced it back in the next day with a fraudulent voice vote.

To the editor:
Recently, I had the displeasure of again watching Mayor Rich Cerrato rail against Sunset Beach Park.
Boy, is that getting old! Let me be clear. While I love the idea of a park, I opposed the price so I signed the petition, which was never presented to town council. But the mayor continues to ignore facts while he rants.
What a shame a Wilmington TV station never bothers to get “the other side of the story” but blithely gives Cerrato airtime.

To the editor:
Our state has a problem. It is a problem that constituents in this state want you to solve: puppy mills.
Our state does not have a law to crack down on these operations, but we need one. This year, there have been more puppy mill raids in North Carolina than any other state in the country.
It is time for lawmakers to pass legislation that requires inspections of commercial dog breeding facilities and basic standards of care.
